Lima, Peru by Ryan Anderton Via Flickr: Every night the Circuito Mágico del Agua takes place in downtown Lima, where the collection of fountains are lit up by water and lazer shows. It's a great place to hang out and relax with the wonderful colours and shadows. In this photo a silhouette of a couple can be seen walking in front of the fountain which gives an impression of the tranquil vibe.

La Paz, Bolivia by Ryan Anderton Via Flickr: Any excuse for a parade - in South America it's common to find yourself in the middle of a festival wherever you are, and it's guarenteed that everyone will party in style. Colourful and often extravagent costumes are on show with a lot of alcohol flowing and dancing everywhere on the streets. This photo was taken from the Gran Poder festival in La Paz, Bolivia, the biggest fiesta of the year.
